[h2]Ho Ho Ho!
Happy Decimbir and a very Merry Guestmas to you all![/h2]

The chilly winds of change have come at last to Raven Brooks, bringing with it a blanket of fluffy white snow, and the Winter Wonders & Gadgets Update - which is officially Live Now!

[previewyoutube]TRAILER EMBED HERE---------------------------[/previewyoutube]

[h3]⛄ We know it’s kinda hard to believe, but the snow is BACK! ⛄[/h3]

Haven’t made your first snowman of the season yet? Jump into a match now to build snow buddies to your heart’s content, sneak your presents under the Christmas tree, or smack a snowball directly into your buddy’s face at high velocity. (because let's be honest, we all know that’s the real first thing anyone's actually going to do)

[h3]🛠 We’ve gone over the Winter, now let's get to the Gadgets! 🛠[/h3]

The Engineer class got a rework with three new items in his arsenal:
Seek treasures with the Metal Detector, use it to find key cards, keys, & gears
Keep an even sharper eye out with new Night Vision Goggles
Lock onto the Neighbor’s approximate location with the Threat Sensor



[h3]Now, before you go dive facefirst into the first snowbank you see:[/h3]

🦸- You’ll need some super suits if you want to take on the supervillain who stole the snow, pick up an epic ugly Christmas sweater while you’re in the Shop! Check back regularly to see what old seasonal favorites make their way back with a sweet holiday discount!
🔔 - Spice up your coupon-questing with a few new daily quests, available now!
🎁 - Oh, and did we mention there is a limited-time 2x daily quest multiplier going for the rest of the day?

We hope you enjoy the Winter Wonders & Gadgets update, Happy holidays from all of us on the Secret Neighbor team! As always, please let us know what you think in the comments! Or join our Discord server! We've recently updated our forums to make submitting feedback easier than ever.

Have a Happy Decimbir and a very Merry Guestmas!

Till next time!

They are implemented as follows:

1. There are three groups of maps.
